Mel O'Drama Presents

Alice in Wonderland Jr

Fall down the rabbit hole with Alice as she navigates the curious world of Wonderland on her journey of self-discovery. Along her adventure, Alice encounters the ever-tardy White Rabbit, the grinning Cheshire Cat, a cool Caterpillar, the wacky Mad Hatter, a temperamental Queen, and many more beloved Wonderland characters in this charming updated retelling of the classic Lewis Carroll stories. Adapted especially for young performers, the musical includes favorite songs from the Disney canon such as “I’m Late,” “The Unbirthday Song,” and “Painting the Roses Red,” in addition to music from the 2010 Tim Burton live-action film. Whether this is your first experience with Alice or your hundredth, you’ll lose your head (and your heart) for Alice in Wonderland JR.!

About Us

My name is Melanie Grace Gillespie and I was born in Dublin Ireland. My dearly departed father was an entertainer in Ireland and he inspired my love for performance. I was taken along to watch him perform in many theatres and remember that euphoric feeling I felt as I watched excitedly from the wings. I started performing at an early age; singing, dancing and acting for anyone who'd watch! My friends today would tell you that I haven't changed much in that department 😉 My father later had the honor of performing on tour with Frank Sinatra and so we moved to the United States in 1994. Mel O’ Drama, a nickname my dad gave me as a youngster, was born as a drama school for children in 2011 and I can’t wait to introduce you to our ever-evolving programs!
